And you guys made the bestest ironcrew around.
It was a LOOONNNGGG hot and windy day out there. So my bike split was 30 minutes off. Cramping from 62 miles on. Kept having to stop and injest salt. Couldn't do it on the fly cause tri bike was flying all over in the wind. Then on the run I couldn't *run* because my stomach had gone south. Spent the entire first 8.75 mile loop trying to get stomach under control. Got it by the second but then started cramping midway through that leg. Cramped the entire third loop, but had a run/walk strategy and just kept at it. But honestly I had been chasing cut offs all day, and I thought there was NO way I was going to finish the run. Thought about quitting a million times, but I just kept telling myself to "be Iron" and "walk with purpose". And let me tell you- I am NO power walker! lol
Anyway. This is taking me forever to type cause my fingers are not really working. Nerve damage from holding on so tight to the bike.... ugh.. I hope this goes away soon.... Anyone know??
Ok, I'll type a longer report later. With all the juicy details. And thanks again for all your support. I really did feel the TE spirit out there!
